Chapter 24 The moment he saw Elliott clearly , all the gentleness in Everett's eyes disappeared and was replaced by hostility . " Lio ! " Emily's tears fell instantly . She stared hard at Elliott , afraid this was all just a dream . " Shut up ! " Everett growled . He couldn't stand hearing Emily call that name . He quickly untied the ropes on Emily and tried to take her out through the secret door . But the next second , someone kicked him hard . The kick was so strong that Everett crashed into the wall and fell to the ground with a " thud . " A sweet , metallic taste rose up in my throat , and the blood I spat out splattered on the carpet . The world spun , and and before I knew it , Emily was already in Elliott's arms . Emily greedily drank in Elliott's scent . All her emotions burst out at that moment : " Where have you been , he locked me up for so long , he tied me up ... " " It's okay now . " Elliott took off his suit jacket and covered her with it , gently patting her head and soothing her in a soft voice , " I'm here , my fault , I came too late . " Feeling the warmth of his palm , Emily's nerves , which had been tense these days , suddenly relaxed , and she passed out . G.DON Chapter 24 200 Vouchers Everett looked at this touching scene , full of sarcasm . The sharp pain in his chest made him cough a few times . He slowly pushed himself up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger . " Elliott , you got here faster than I expected . " " We're all men , why don't you guess what we've been up to these days ? " " Not really , " Everett's eyes smiled , " it should be , guess how many times in these three years when you were gone , Emily wanted to climb into my bed and be my ... " M Before he could finish speaking , another kick came at him . Everett stumbled a few steps before he managed to steady himself . The gentleness on Elliott's face suddenly broke into rage : " Watch your mouth ! " Everett looked at Emily in his arms and grinned , " She really should see you now , see what the gentle and polite gentleman in her heart looks like now . " " We all had the Barnes family's blood and similar faces . Elliott , how much better could you have been than me ?! " " You didn't know , right ? Emily didn't like you at first either , she was just messing with you . " Elliott's eyes suddenly went dark . He handed Emily to the person behind him , grabbed Everett , and punched him hard . After taking the punch, Everett didn't hesitate and hit back . Everett worked out all year round , and even when he was injured , he didn't fall behind . The two of them started fighting right away , every punch landing hard , every move deadly . Some of the people who came along were the Barnes family's bodyguards . 25 16 % 00380 Chapter 24 17298 ( Vouchers They looked at Everett and Elliott , but no one dared to step in . The fight didn't stop until the Barnes family showed up . A week later , Everett , badly injured , woke up from his coma . In the hospital's VIP room . Everett lay on the bed , and the doctor was bandaging his wound . Duncan and Winfred looked at him , both with complicated expressions . Especially Duncan , he never would've thought Everett actually locked Emily up for so many days . Right now , even if he was dumb , he could see what Everett felt for Emily . If his own woman treated him like a stand - in for another man , he'd probably go crazy too . They were all men , and he understood that flaw deep down in all of them . Winfred was actually okay , kind of expected but also unexpected . Back when he saw Emily always hanging around Everett , he already felt something was off . Who would pour all their passion into someone for no reason , even give up their pride and lower their standards , just to stay close to the person they liked . But Emily's years of acting really fooled all of them . Winfred poured Everett a glass of water and told him about what had happened these days . " Emily woke up , she was badly hurt mentally , Elliott stayed with her during therapy . " " Also , their wedding date was announced . " Everett's hand holding the cup paused , and his face got even paler . Duncan chimed in too , " I really underestimated that kid Elliott . He looks like such a straight guy , but just to find an Emily , he almost turned New York upside down . "
